Genuine Royal Enfield Classic 350 UCE / Classic 500 EFI C5 Black Pillion Passenger Seat Sub-Assembly – 597447

Original black rear pillion seat assembly for the older-generation Royal Enfield Classic C5 platform. Part number 597447 is catalogued as the Pillion Seat Sub Assembly C5 Classic – Black for compatible Classic 350 UCE and Classic 500 EFI motorcycles.

This is a complete pillion-seat sub-assembly, not the rider/front seat and not a universal cushion. Royal Enfield used different seats across Classic generations and colour variants, so confirm the exact part number, motorcycle generation, existing mounting arrangement and black finish before ordering.
